In a development that has left Sydney Roosters fans shocked and concerned, star fullback James Tedesco has hinted at the possibility of moving away from the club. In a candid interview, Tedesco opened up about the personal pressures he’s been facing, revealing that his wife and child have expressed a desire to leave the city.
While Tedesco reiterated his deep affection for the Roosters and the role they’ve played in his career, he made it clear that his family’s happiness would be the top priority in any decisions about his future.
During the interview, Tedesco was emotional as he shared the ongoing conversations he’s been having with his family about their future. “My wife and kid keep telling me they don’t want to live in the city anymore,” Tedesco revealed. “I love the Roosters, this team has been incredible to me, and the fans have always had my back. But when it comes to my family, I have to listen.”
The 31-year-old fullback, regarded as one of the NRL’s best players, admitted that balancing family and football commitments has become increasingly difficult. As a professional athlete, the demands of the game often take a toll, but Tedesco made it clear that his family’s desires are starting to weigh heavily on him

“It’s tough because I’ve been with this team through so much. We’ve won championships together, and I love playing for this club. But at the end of the day, if my wife and child aren’t happy, that’s something I can’t ignore,” Tedesco added.
While Tedesco was careful not to disclose where his family might want to move, he did mention that it was a conversation they’ve been having for some time. “I’m not going to say where they want to go because I don’t want to start any rumors or cause distractions for the team,” he explained. “I’m focused on playing well for the Roosters and finishing the season strong, but these are important decisions that I have to consider.”
Speculation is now swirling about where Tedesco could end up if he decides to leave the Roosters. Although no firm details have been shared, several clubs across the NRL would undoubtedly be interested in acquiring a player of his caliber. However, for now, Tedesco is remaining tight-lipped about any future moves.
“I’m still here, and my priority is to help the Roosters win games,” Tedesco said. “But of course, I have to consider what’s best for my family moving forward.”
For now, James Tedesco remains committed to the Roosters, with no official decision made about his future. However, his comments have sparked a wave of speculation about whether the star fullback is preparing to move on. As the season progresses, Tedesco will likely weigh his options, considering both his family’s desires and his own commitment to the club.
While Tedesco’s future with the Roosters remains uncertain, the fullback’s honesty about his struggles has won him even more respect from fans. “I’m still here, and I want to be here,” Tedesco concluded. “But I also have to think about what’s best for my family. They will always come first.”
As the Roosters continue their push for another Premiership, Tedesco’s comments will no doubt hang over the club like a cloud, with fans and management alike hoping that their star fullback will remain with the team. However, with Tedesco’s family pushing for a move, it seems the club could be facing a future without one of its biggest names. For now, though, all eyes will be on Tedesco as he navigates the challenges of balancing his professional and personal life.
Whatever decision he makes, one thing is clear: James Tedesco’s legacy with the Roosters is already firmly cemented, and his contributions to the team will not be forgotten.
